Method for Monitoring Interactions to Generate a Cognitive Persona

Abstract

A cognitive learning method comprising: retrieving a plurality of cognitive suggestions; presenting the plurality of cognitive suggestions, the presenting comprising sequentially presenting each of the plurality of cognitive suggestions; monitoring user interactions of the user with the plurality of cognitive suggestions; generating user interaction data based upon the user interactions; processing the user interaction data to perform a cognitive learning operation, the processing being performed via a cognitive inference and learning system, the cognitive learning operation comprising analyzing the user interaction data, the cognitive learning operation generating a cognitive learning result based upon the user interaction data; and, providing an indication of a preferred persona category for the user using the cognitive learning result.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cognitive learning method comprising:
 retrieving a plurality of cognitive suggestions;   presenting the plurality of cognitive suggestions, the presenting comprising sequentially presenting each of the plurality of cognitive suggestions;   monitoring user interactions of the user with the plurality of cognitive suggestions;   generating user interaction data based upon the user interactions;   processing the user interaction data to perform a cognitive learning operation, the processing being performed via a cognitive inference and learning system ;  the cognitive learning operation comprising analyzing the user interaction data, the cognitive learning operation generating a cognitive learning result based upon the user interaction data; and,   providing an indication of a preferred cognitive persona for the user using the cognitive learning result.   
     
     
         2 . The cognitive learning method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the interaction data comprises at least one of an indication of a preference regarding at least one of the plurality of cognitive suggestions, an order of an interaction, an amount of time of an interaction, and a particular area within the plurality of cognitive suggestions the user interacted with for at least one of the plurality of cognitive suggestions.   
     
     
         3 . The cognitive learning method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 data from the plurality of sources is monitored to provide data related user interaction data; and,   the data related user interaction data is used when generating the cognitive insight.   
     
     
         4 . The cognitive learning method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving feedback from a user regarding the preferred cognitive persona; and,   updating the cognitive learning result based upon the feedback.   
     
     
         5 . The cognitive learning method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing a cognitive insight based upon the preferred cognitive persona.   
     
     
         6 . The cognitive learning method of  claim 5 , wherein:
 the cognitive insight comprises a corroborating explanation, the corroborating explanation providing information regarding why the cognitive insight was provided based upon the user interaction with the plurality of cognitive suggestions.
